  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In the time of the Famine a woman of Corraghamone hid a crock of gold before she went to America. It was hidden in a meadow. After a while she came back again but took ill while on board ship and died in Derry. According to her directions several relatives searched for it. But search as they might they could never find it.
